    thats not really accurate as dude suffered multiple knee injuries after he was drafted... post injury he wasn't the same guy. Luke Jackson would be another decent prospect who was derailed by injury. Injury has struck down many established NBA stars as well.

    I thought Joseph Forte and Harold Minor were going to tear the league up!

    I don't think it's new. HCP is obviously an environmentalist - He regularly recycles his avatars :lol:

    In '05 I really hoped we would take Deron and was upset we moved the #3 pick for the #6.

    Did not really pay attention in '06 to college - so was smart enough to shut my mouth on the entire thing and not take a side in the for/against 'Stache - glad I did that. Other than that - did not really know much.

    '07 was on the Jeff Green bandwagon before we won the lottery - Oden after. I also liked and argued on the BBF that Noah would turn out to be a pretty decent NBA player - which he is.

    '08 I was hoping Westbrook would fall to us and assumed it could happen because I suspect Seattle would take Bayless. How funny was that... - I also argued that K-Love would work just fine in the NBA - it is pretty clear that he did.

    This year - I have paid really little attention to the college game - so the only prospect I really like and can talk with some knowledge about is Rubio... I have seen Stephen Curry last year - and would like him as a late lottery pick - but no higher.

    those two were both pretty obviously out of range for Portland's #13 pick... I recall you as my one co-signer on Anthony Randolph (who btw kicked ass)
